alignment. A change of pointer position will require re-
adiusting the footage.
Seal screws with Vulcolac, or
equivalent. (It wi II be necessary to remove tool No. 778
in order to reach these two screws.)
Masking
of
Upper Field
The upper and lower fields should blend with each
other, rather than have a sharp division.
The bottom
edge of the upper field should also be parallel to the top
edge of the lower field.
Correction is made by means of the slide located on
the pointer bracket which must be sealed after any ad-
justing. (It wi II be necessary to remove tool No. 778 in
order to reach the sl ide.)
57. RANGE FINDER APPEARANCE ADJUSTMENTS
The principal characteristics as described in In-
struction No.
54
are determined somewhat by the function-
al adjustments made to the range finder, but are mainly
determined by the appearance adjustments. Therefore, it
is important that any corrections for appearance be
made. after it has been determined that the range finder
is functioning properly. The various adjustments listed
here are all made to the two mirrors located in the range
finder cover (No.3 and No.4, Figure
B),
and it is nec-
essary to use the cover that wi II be assembled to the
camera.
Each
01
the mirrors has a primary and secondary effect
on the appearance of the range finder fields, and some
balanci ng between the two wi II be necessary. Since it
may be necessary to remove and replace the cover sev-
eral times while adjusting, it is recommended that two
of
the cover screws (part No. 126202 and No. 126203)
be altered, as shown in Figure F, tobe assembted in the
cover as guide pins.
Offset Adjustment
The upper and lower fields should appear offset sub-
stantially the 'same distance in each direction as shown
in Figure C.
The position of the upper field in relation to the
lower field is changed by bending the large (No.3)
mirror about a vertical axis. Secondary effect: Changes
the position of the upper field in relation to the view
finder field.
Position Adjustment
An aligned vertical line through the pointer of the
range finder field should also be in the center third of
the view finder field.
The position of the range finder fields in relation to
the view finder field is adjusted by bending the small
(No.4) mirror about a vertical axis. Secondary effect:
Changes the- position of the upper range finder field in
relation to the lower range finder field.
It is reconmended that offset and position adjust-
ments be alternated until both characteristics aresatis-
isfied.
SERVICE MANUAL NO. 5510-A
Height ancl Blencling Acljustment
The upper and lower fields shou Id be of approximately
-
equal height and also should blend together rather than
have a sharp division between them.
The height of the upper field in relation to the lower
field is changed by bending the large (No.3) mirror about
a horizontal axis.
Secondary effect:
Tilts the upper
field.
Tilt Adjustment
The range finder field should be parallel to the view
finder field.
The tilt of the range finder field in relation to the
view finder field is adjusted by bending the small (No.4)
mirror about a horizontal axis. Secondary effect: Changes
height of upper field in relation to the lower field.
It is recommended that height and blending and tilt
adjustments be alternated unti I both characteristics are
satisfied.
Pointer Acljustment
If the pointer has been adjusted as described in In-
struction No. 56 and the other characteristics corrected
as previously described, no further adjustments to the
pointer will be necessary.

FITTING SPORTS FINDER CLIP
On cameras above Serial No. 3400, the three holes for
accepting the finder shoe are pre-drilled and tapped.
These holes are directly to the rear of the name plate,
and covered with the leather covering.
On cameras below Serial No. 3400, it wi II be neces-
sary to drill and tap the holes. The finder shoe supplied
with the Kodak Chevron Sports Finder Kit can be used
as a template by holding it in correct mounting position
while drilling with a No. 50 (.070) drill. Tap the drilled
holes with a No.2-56 (R.H.) tap.
59.
ADJUSTING FOCUS
Check the focus on a 15' chart.
Use ground glass
with the ground side toward the lens and on the film rails
of the back frame. Turn the focusing ring until the lens
is focused for best definition in the center of the picture
area. Loosen the three screws on the focusing collar and
align the 15' scale reading with the index mark without
turning the focus ring (see Instruction No. 31).
